Well, of course I use Firefox. Actually, I have both FF 1.5.0.6, 2.0, and I want to find 3.0 just to see if it is even usable at this point. I also have Opera on my computers, but I don't use it as often as I would like mainly because I can't customize it as much to my liking. I love how it has a super quick boot up, and some other features, but that's about it.
IE, well it's stuck on my computer as long as I have to work with it.
And I've been testing out Flock lately and from what I've seen it's basically FF with certain extensions/functionality pre-installed. It's nice that it has a decent boot up though. I'll still have to test it thoroughly though.

I have Firefox 1.5.0.6. but most of what they said was wrong.
You really don’t care if FF is faster, or safer than IE - you would use it even if it performed 10 times worse.
That's certainly not true, I use Firefox because I got tons of Spyware and Adware when I used IE and Netscape kept crashing.
At any given time you have installed at least 7 extensions that you couldn’t live without.
Nope only one (reload every) and I don't use it much anymore (it was mainly used for the EB morning update).

Firefox 2.0 Beta:
You are a developer by day and open source developer by night. Either that, or a huge Firefox fan. You are all over Bugzilla reporting all the issues you encounter with the browser. You have probably summited at least one patch to an open source project at some point in your life. You love to tinker with your applications, and you don’t mind running beta software on your machine. After all, it is fun to discover new bugs, and to work little kinks out of the new cutting edge programs.
Eh.

I use Opera just because it loads up my regular sites as it starts, but when I want to see things properly I use IE.
I don't understand why people hate it so much... it goes to the website you type in and websites always look best with it.

I'm in the computer room not on my computer so its IE6
IE 6.0:
You probably don’t know what a “browser” is and you think Internet is IE. You have no clue about technology, and you are generally afraid of computers. You also use your machine only for IM, chat, email and myspace. Your friends keep telling you about that “Fried Fox” thingy but you don’t really understand this stuff and never really had time to look into it.
Yea I disagree with this one. I know how to bulid and work on PC's taught myself acutally. But reading all of them it just sounds like someone's rant and not so much a "what type are you" survey.

None of these things are a hundred percent accurate, but nonetheless I found it quite funny and overall true.

i use firefox because it's the best. If Microsoft made one that's more intuitive, had more and better plugins, was open source, more stable, faster etc. etc. I'd be using that one.

I use Flock because of just how easy it is to upload a lot of images onto photobucket.
